For Judge of the Sapreme Court, C. LARUE MUNSON, of Williamsport. For State Treasurer, GEORGE W. KIPP, of Towanda. For Auditor Geperal, J. WOOD CLARK, of Indiana, Democratic County Ticket, For Jury Commissioner, J. ADAM HAZEL, of Spring Township. If the people of ouf neighboring county of Blair appreciate the opportunity they mow bave of righting some of the wrongs they bave suffered in consequence of the political management that bas dominated that county for so many years, there would be no doubt as to the election of Mr. AL. S. GARMAN as sheriff of that county. There is no question that for years back it has been ove of the worst governed and ring-ruled counties in the Commonwealth. Its voters know and feel this. Others know aod understand it. Ite tax-rate shows this, and the many scandals that have originated about its cout house, and in the management of ita public offices are evidence that a change is needed and need: ed early. Mr. GARMAN, who is asking for votes for the office of sheriff, would make a most obliging and creditable offi- cial in thas office. Careful in all business transactions, kind and obliging under all circumstances, honest to a penny, and just in the prime of life, he would prove, as a public official, worthy the county that he would represent and highly satisfactory to all the voters who desire a clean ad- ministration of its pabiic affairs.

Wait till I go over and set it up,” exclaimed Miss Maude Heufnagle to a companion as the two girls were walking along a path through a cornfield on their way to church at Paris, near Washington, Pa. A moment later scream after scream from the young woman drew her com- panion to the spot. She found Miss Heufnagle stretched in a dead faint beside the body of her father, which the daughter had at first taken for the SCATECTOW. Was Literally Hacked to Pieces. The finding of the corpse revealed one of the most shocking and myste- rious murders in the history of this section. Charles Heufnagle's body, found in the fence corner, was liter ally hacked to pieces by his slayers. Decomposition had already set in, and it is the belief of the officers now at work on the puzzling murder that the farmer had been dead for at least a week. Heufnagle was one of the wealthiest residents of northern Washington county. So far as can be learned, he had no enemies. Heufnagle left the big mansion on his farm near Paris on the morning of Thursday, Sept. 30, to go to Pittsburg, where he expected to make a visit of a week er more with a sick daughter, and on his way to the train took a short cut along a path through a cornfield. That was the last seen of him, and it is believed he was waylaid and murdered while walk- ing along this path. Desperate Struggle For Life. Heufnagle apparently put up a des- perate struggle for his life, as the ground near where the corpse was found was torn up and trampled for yards around. Heufnagle's left arm was broken, apparently as he warded off a blow from some heavy weapon. His face is laid open with long and jagged cuts and the head has almost been severed from the body. The murderer, apparently after his victim was helpless, hacked and cut the body with some instrument with which death blows were delivered, as cuts were found all over the torso and head. Heufnagle is known to have had large sums of money and some valu- able papers in his clothing, and these are missing, indicating robbery as the motive for the crime. Saw Husband Dead In Dream. While under the influence of an opi- ate at the Presbyterian hospital in Pittsburg, Mrs. Martin O'Rourke dreamed that her husband was dead and that his spirit entered her room, beckoning to her. She awoke scream- ing, and it was some time before she could be quieted. The shock was such that her condition grew rapidly worse and death soon followed. While Mrs. O'Rourke dreamed that her husband was dead, she did not know that he really was in his coffin and sorrowing friends were in the house at the time she awoke from her horrible vision. Martin O'sdourke was one of the vie- tims of the Chislett street car wreck last Sunday. He died shortly after be- ing taken from the car, which turned turtle. At the time he was on his way to his home with medicine. His wife was then at the O'Rourke residence and her condition was such that it was deemed advisable to keep her in ignorance of his death. She was re- moved to the hospital with her three- weeks-old infant, Arrested While Embracing Dead Wife. Charged with murdering his wife in a fit of jealous rage, William Fish- they had occupied.
